Umar said that Farooq Sahab shocked us all when during a meeting he announced his resignation from the post of president. The party could not allow him to leave the party leadership. Omar Abdullah said, “I persuaded him to accept this post, otherwise there will be no party president and we assure you that now after you are re-elected, we will carry forward your mission.”

Farooq Abdullah further said that his party made a mistake by not participating in the Panchayat elections and now they are showing a wrong image and development through the visits of Union Ministers. From now on we will participate in all elections and also ask Umar to reconsider his decision of not contesting. Umar should also contest elections for the public.
This allegation was made on BJP
He said that our workers are being asked to join BJP. We never helped people on the basis of party, but now our workers are being harassed even for small tasks. He warned the government, including the army and security forces, not to interfere in the elections, saying that if the government tried to influence the elections, he would hit the streets against it. BJP is trying to buy MLAs and MPs all over the country and I warn the people of Jammu and Kashmir that such attempts will be made here as well. That’s why people have to be alert.
